Eversheds unveils Romanian collaboration
Law firm Eversheds has announced plans to launch in Romania after striking a deal with local firm Lina & Guia SCA.
Eversheds, which has an office in Birmingham, said the collaboration with the firm would "help expand its global presence".
Lina & Guia offers legal advice on areas including commercial and real estate, energy, dispute resolution and insolvency. Clients of the firm include Danone, Volvo, RBS and Medicover.
From 1 October, the practice will operate under the name Eversheds Lina & Guia.
David Beswick, senior office partner at the Birmingham office, said: "Lina & Guia has an exceptional reputation for its ability to undertake complex work, coupled with a high standard of client service.
"The Romanian market is a critical hub for the Central and Eastern European market and has strong growth potential as well as being a strong trade partner with Russia."
This partnership is the latest in a series of growth plans from Eversheds.
This year, the firm announced further expansion in Africa via a cooperation agreement giving it bases in Casablanca and Tangier, a merger in the Middle East and new offices in Madrid and Hamburg. The new office in Romania will increase Eversheds' global offering to 46 offices around the world.
